Re: The MangaHelpers Confessional Thread - Part 1

I friend of mine was about to start a seriously relationship with a girl from another town. He's old school, so he was going to visit her parents and ask their approval on the matter.
Off course the talk wouldn't be out of the blue, so the girl gave her parents the heads up, about the the talk and everything else. But before he could travel, her parents forbade her to get on this relationship, because he's from another town, etc
The thing is, the girls is 20 years old.. that's shitty, she's not a kid and they don't know him yet. For me it's kind of preposterous, they don't even know the guy and the girl should be able to make this kind of decision.

So now it's my confession... the guy have been struggling the last couple of years, since his last relationship. Now he finally gets something good, that looks promising, but then something like that happens. He's crushed and I don't know what to do to comfort him. I'm here on his house, drinking some beer and roasting a beef.. listening to some music as we talk about useless stuff and surf on the net.
But I really don't know what to say to him...

Maybe she'll decide to confront them, Moa. At some point, most of people do that. And as you said, she's 20 already.
They can't see each other meanwhile, but they can stay in touch. They can keep talking online of calling each other. Maybe that will give her confidence, when she sees what she'll miss if she doesn't decide to step away from the nest a bit?

EIther have the girl confront her parents or remind her she doesn't have to listen to anything they say.

Yeha, that's what I said to him.
I told him that she should take a stand for them, with him backing her up, off cousre. But she must be sure about it, cuz if her heart starts to wonder, her resolve will wave and their relationship will not last

Try reasoning first though. That sometimes works out.

She have to confront and reason, yes. But I think she does have to listen to her parents a little, she lives under their roof and they pay her bills... So she does have to weight their opinions on what she does. At least it's what I think and do with my decisions...
